Madam Patience and GEJ are elected to a position that they will occupy from 8 to (in case of predecessor's death) 12 years at the most.


The Oba ascends a throne and is there for the rest of his life.

I am no Tribalist.

Do not insult my Oba. And we won't incinerate Nairaland.

Deal? <Shake on it>

Katsumoto: In fact I don't trust some of these ASSnal chaps like Debosky who has probably been with his Babalawo in Dalston since yesterday. If SAS fails to score today, then I know its dobosky or Ola one.

I have a good feeling about this. Gayners beat Scousers! If I were a betting man, I'd take your money!

P.S. Dobosky ati Ola? Where do you think Naijababe has been hiding all these days? Incantation tinz.

Ok. Bye now. I'm not wanted here.

And I'm no Gayner either.

StarBoard:
Dayokanu, where are you in this picture? I suspect second from left.
Also point out Katsumoto, GustavoFrings, afrodoc, fredooo, nitlad, A-40.
Its good to finally see some faces of nairalanders.

DK is the tallest
Nitlad is the drunkest
Fredo is the youngest-looking
Gustavo is that Spike Lee looking 4-eyed spider in the back
Afrodoc and A-40 are the bromance boys seated on the left
Katsumoto is the one with the biggest nose




Ok, I don't know what anyone looks like o; JOKE!

afrodoc: oh boy eeeeee!
na finishing move be this na!
anyways the correct answer is "they rewind the movie to the beginning so they can win it back to back".

And we have a winner!


Many of you will chop ban when Mukina gets over her inertia after Le A.rs.e beats Scoucers.

Orikinla: All these primitive native practices must stop if we want to catch up with civilized countries.

You're such an i.di.ot, I swear. Attention seeking hypocritical old fool.

Ikengawo: The role of women is a very interesting contrast. Igbo men and women view each other as functional equals, but cultural in-equals. A man expects a woman to earn as he earns and contribute as he contributes. Women are expected to be as educated as or more learned than men, be a source of income for the family, and to be a leader in her own right. When it comes to culture, the man is still viewed as superior. Igbo women are also more likely to pressure their husbands to succeed. It's typical for igbo women to constantly push and nag at their husbands to do more. In times of failure she won't 'comfort' him, but will instead ridicule and demand he wake up and do better.

Yoruba women tend to 'go with the flow' a lot more. If the family is poor, the family is poor, if they are rich, they are rich, and they're more expected to adjust to their situation that demand a better or different one. Yoruba wives are also expected to be more passive, submissive, and excepting. Though the pressure to be educated is high, the pressure to be economically viable isn't as prevalent as in igbos.

You know little about Yoruba women or their role in Yoruba tradition, history and culture. For example, you will never hear a Yoruba man say, a woman cannot lead him or rule their town - check how many queens we've had since time immemorial.

No offense; you tried with the rest of your assignment.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]You do not have a firm grip on Ibo culture, much more to have a claer understanding of Yoruba culture and thus be in a positiin to compare similarities between the two.

These are social values you listed, the way people respond to living circumstance in a given set of environmental envelope. I dont know, these listings might be cultures in Iboland.....but in Yorubaland we dont call those cultures.[/quote]Hmmm. Interesting take.

coogar: he would adjust - he's a man, men are not ruled by emotions. within 2 weeks, he would forget olivia ever existed.

ummsulaym: It's our Identity, it's for Allah

Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. The guy always looked frail.

What's that swelling on the back of his hand? I can imagine how sick he was the whole time he was president.

Wow! This should have been on the front page, considering how delays at LAX would affect flight passengers all over the world. Though news about shootings here happens every other day now.

Those pics are toooo big.

Anyway, see Awori Epetedo style outdoor kitchen.

My latest obsession. . .

The Outdoor Kitchen!

Ijebulogic: [b]Oga ......[/b]I urge you to research The Current Awujale of Ijebu land (Adetona)'s position on this blood-letting "festival". He denounced it many years ago and refuses to participate in the rituals. So if my position is not any different from the position of the Awujale of Ijebuland (where this cult originated), then your point is Mute sir.

If he said that, then the Bashorun and Balogun need to send him a calabash containing a parrot's egg.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]You disappointed me today. Please take a closer look at the guy on the left and you'll note that he is none other than Ebele. Ebele has been wearing that hat for quite some time.[/quote] I really didn't think that was GEJ. I thought it was a much older picture than 1977, and also photoshopped - the guy on left and right looks the same image. lol.

I found a clearer one online. I remain unconvinced that it is GEJ.

Old pictures of him usually look like this, and without hat:

Almost as dapper as SAI Buhari.

But, none of them are as good-looking as this guy. R.I.P. Tunde Idiagbon.

BTW, I just found out there is a band called "Goodluck Jonathan."

TechWalker007: Anyway, it's just a matter of time.

A matter of time for what? Don't make threats, ol' boy.

zeelo2014: All windows must be shut & the generators off. Just imagine? In 2013?

It's just one night. Suck it up!

luxanne: Welcome to November

Very summery here.

Just like woman.

Yet so dangerous. . .

Something so beautiful. . .

Roses have thorns.

A scarf can protect you from the heat (and the cold), you know. What are you people talking about it's too hot. Anyway, there is no compulsion, I wear it when I want.

This girl is Nigerian:

"i couldnt marry a gal there dat was in love wit me cos of paper....."

Why couldn't you marry her?
- Because she would think you married her for her paper?
- Or she didn't have one either?
- She loved you, but you didn't love her, so you didn't want to use her?
